Anthropic CEO Calls for Slowing AI Development

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a slowdown in AI development, proposing to give third-party evaluators like METR access to its models to verify safety practices and commitments. In a lengthy essay, Amodei outlined a three-step plan to pace the frontier, meaning slowing the rate of AI training and development to allow companies time to build safeguards and give regulators room to properly evaluate models.
